What better place to demonstrate the capabilities of amateur radio than to people who are interested in outdoor adventures! TVARC participates in the The Villages Parks and Recreation's Outdoor Expo each year.

In 2025 the event moved to the Everglades Recreation Center on Feb 28th and March 1.

We had over two dozen members participate, with a good amount of foot traffic through the outdoor exhibits. We enjoyed excellent weather and even had to make extra TVARC handouts! We signed up some new members and had a great opportunity to explain and demonstrate Amateur radio to other outdoor enthusiasts, many of whom were interested in the capabilites of radio where cellular is unreliable or unavailable.
